Bridges for Peace IN ACTION
YESHUA (JESUS) WAS TEACHING THE MULTITUDE and suddenly He stopped and said, “I feel compassion for the multitude because they have remained with Me now three days, and have nothing to eat” (Mark 8:2). He goes on to perform an amazing miracle in which 4,000 men (plus women and children) are fed with seven loaves of bread and a few small fish. There are several accounts of the feeding of the 5,000 and the 4,000 in the Gospels. Each time, Yeshua is concerned with the people’s need for food. He doesn’t send them away hungry. He feeds them.

Almost 14,000 tons of humanitarian aid was transferred to the Gaza Strip via Israel’s crossings during last week alone, as Israel continues to open their border with blockaded Gaza for humanitarian reasons, according to a statement released by the Israel Defense Forces. In addition to allowing key items in, Israel is also allowing some items out, presumably to help the Gaza economy: eight truckloads of carnation flowers were sent from Gaza to Europe. Almost 200 medical patients and accompanying individuals were also let into Israel and the West Bank region [Judea and Samaria] from Gaza for medical treatment reasons.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has decorated Britons who saved Jews and others from the Nazi onslaught during World War II with the new “Hero of the Holocaust” medal. Brown had announced the creation of the award last year during a visit to the former Nazi death camp Auschwitz. The medal bears the inscription “in the service of humanity” and, on the backside, recognizes that the recipient’s “selfless actions preserved life in the face of persecution.” Two surviving heroes, Sir Nicholas Winton, 100, and Denis Avey, 91, received their medals in person at the prime minister’s official residence in 10 Downing Street, while another 25 Britons will be recognized posthumously.
